Popis:	Until the first decade of the twentieth century Canada and the United States did not possess a set of comprehensive regulations for international water management along their common frontier. The need for such regulations arose during the 1890s and the early 1900s when accelerating population growth, industrialization and technological change resulted in new uses of waters along the U.S. - Canada international boundary. The proliferation of such uses threatened water management in the two countries with chaos. The threat was recognized by technical experts and was dealt with by the governments in Washington and Ottawa – after innumerable delays. In the end comprehensive guidelines were agreed upon for the orderly development and preservation of common water resources. In 1909 they were incorporated into a treaty, providing North America with its first body of international law for international water management.
